In the afternoon of the next day, Xiao Yao and He Ying met at a coffee shop in Yanjing, which is a little remote but has its own characteristics. After a simple greeting, they talked about their recent situation. When it comes to the recent situation, naturally we talk about the film project.
"Xiao Yao, I told you on the phone yesterday," He Ying asked. "I''ve read the script. It''s a good script and a good story, but there''s no suitable role for me. You are not really short of money. Do you want me to invest in you? "
He Ying has been on the road for many years. She set up her own studio almost ten years ago. In the past ten years, He Ying''s studio has also cooperated with other film and television companies to invest in some film and television works. Although almost all of these films and TV works are starred by He Ying herself, it is not impossible to invest in them.
"I don''t want your money, but I want to give it to you!" Xiao Yao shook his head and said with a smile, "I want to invite you to play in this movie!"
"I said it all, the characters in it..." He Ying said with a bitter smile.
"Is there really nothing for you?" Xiao Yao said, "I don''t think so!"
"Which part do you want me to play?" He Ying opened a brain hole and said with a smile, "don''t you want me to play a male role?"
"Wife of the coppersmith!" Xiao Yaodao.
"Ah?" He Ying surprised way, "I play this role?"
"Don''t you find it challenging?" Xiao Yao said with a smile.
"It''s very challenging, but it''s not suitable for me!" He Ying said, "I can''t imagine what it would be like for me to play that role!"
"I can, and I can help you imagine!" Xiao Yao took out a picture from his bag and handed it to He Ying, "look at this!"
"What''s this?" He Ying took a look at the photo, some strange way.
"You can take it as a make-up photo for the character of the coppersmith''s wife!" Xiao Yao said with a smile.
"Make up photos?" He Ying doesn''t understand a way, "connect the role to fix make-up to take well, isn''t that already have actor?"? Do you still want me to play the part? "
"I said you can take it as a make-up photo, but I didn''t say it''s really a make-up photo," Xiao Yao said. "Take a closer look!"
After He Ying took the photo, she didn''t take a close look at it. Wen Yan looked at it carefully, and suddenly she felt a little familiar with it.
"Well, why does it look familiar?" He Ying asked.
"I found a picture of you from the Internet, and then changed it by using the map repair software!" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "this is you. Of course you look familiar!"
"This is me?" He Ying was startled and almost threw out the photo in her hand.
In this picture, a woman with dark complexion, potholes on her face and ugly appearance is much uglier than the character He Ying imagined after reading the script.
"That''s what I look like in your heart?" He Ying is a little angry and funny.
"It''s not that you look like this in my heart," Xiao Yao corrected, "but that the character looks like this in my heart. I''ll solve the problem of appearance. As for the difference between the character and yourself, I believe in your ability as a professional actor. "
"Sister He Ying," Xiao Yao continued, "I''ve seen almost all of your works. No matter what the role, even the villain, is also the kind of educated intellectual role. And when I come into contact with you, I also think you are a very well educated goddess. But at the same time, I also have some curiosity, that is, you have lived for more than 30 years, have you ever fought with people? "
"When I was a child, of course, I did!" He Ying said with a smile, "when I was studying, I had a fight with boys in order to stand out for my classmates, but I didn''t have it when I grew up."
"Well, you''re still a cool, righteous person." Xiao Yao nodded and asked, "so have you ever scolded others with unbridled and happy? Have you ever experienced the feeling that the language is particularly vulgar and rude? "
"This ~" He Ying said with a bitter smile, "it''s really not!"
"In fact, the feeling is very cool. There is a special pleasure. Don''t you want to experience it?" Xiao Yao pointed to the photo in her hand, "now is a rare opportunity!"
"Well," He Ying began to hesitate.
"We are all people who have a good family environment and good abilities." Xiao Yao then said, "I guess you are like me. Being an actor is not, at least not just for fame and making a lot of money, right? Why are we actors? Let''s not talk about it for the sake of art. Anyway, I just want to experience different lives through the role! You don''t want to try this kind of thing that you will never do in real life in the movie through this role? "
"I want to ask, besides sun Tingting, who are the other actors in this movie? Will you play the part yourself? " He Ying asked.
"Yes Xiao Yao nodded and said, "at present, only sun Tingting is sure to play Zhang Yiman, and I''ll play the coppersmith. If you agree, this film will have three actors. Other actors haven''t been decided yet, but this film is my own investment. I can assure you that it''s all actors who can act! ""You play the coppersmith?" He Ying surprised way.
"Well!" Xiao Yao nodded.
"You''re so sweet in reality, you''re making up, you''re throwing dog food everywhere when you have a chance, but you have to hurt each other in the play." He Ying shakes her head.
She didn''t think of the intimacy in the play, but of the mutual abuse of the two in the play.
"So I said, that''s the fun of being an actor!" Xiao Yao said, "in real life, sun Tingting and I can''t speak so vicious language to each other. Only when we are not us but others in the play can this happen! "
"It''s like this. I should try it!" He Ying said with a smile.
"So you agreed to take the part?" Xiao Yaoxi said.
"When do you expect to start?" He Ying said, "although the role of the play is not much, but for me, it is still very difficult, I need to be well prepared!"
"At least two more months." Xiao Yao said, "Sun Tingting also needs a long time to prepare for the role of Zhang Yiman. She went to the countryside to experience her role as a teacher. After she came back, she had to study and train with her parents for a period of time. She asked me to give her at least three months to prepare, and now half a month has passed. I''m still in the stage of primary selection of crew members and actors, and I have to choose and build scenes later. It will take me more than two months! "
"More than two months should be enough!" He Ying nodded, "OK, I''m going to play this role next!"
"Explain in advance," Xiao Yao said, "the location of the film has not been determined, but it should be in a remote place in Northwest Shanxi. The conditions may be a little bit more difficult!"
"It doesn''t matter," he said. "I can take it!"
"Then let''s talk about it?" Xiao Yao said, "in terms of film payment, I will let the company talk to your agent! Let''s follow the market
With the good relationship between Xiao Yao and He Ying, there should be no big problem in the aspect of film payment.
"There should be no problem with that." He Ying said, "the role of the play is not much, we certainly will not want more, give you a friendship price."
"Good," Xiao Yao said with a smile, holding out his hand, "I hope we can cooperate happily!"
"Happy cooperation!" He Ying held out her hand and shook it with Xiao Yao. Then she took the picture and said, "I have another request. Can I have this picture?"
"Of course Xiao Yao said with a smile, "do you want to face her every day and find the feeling of the role?"
"It''s not the feeling of looking for her role every day, but the feeling of looking for her role!" He Ying said, "I''m going to the vegetable market on the street to observe life and learn how to curse and fight! This image is very good. I can''t see it''s me at all. I''m going to find a make-up artist to make up for me in this way. I''ll go out and observe in this way. "
"Well, good idea!" Xiao Yao raised his thumb and said with a smile.
After making a deal with He Ying, Xiao Yao also informed the casting company to cancel the casting of the coppersmith''s wife.
Xiao Yao is in charge of casting company. If you decide on a role for yourself, you should also inform the casting company to avoid doing useless work. Xiao Yao''s cooperation agreement with the casting company requires the casting company to help him complete the actor primaries for all the roles in the whole movie, not to calculate the remuneration according to the number of roles. Xiao Yao has determined a role for himself, which will not reduce the income of casting company, but also help them save the workload, so they have no opinion.
Xiao Yao is looking for He Ying to play the role on a whim. He doesn''t plan to choose all the actors by himself.
After the broadcast of the group comprehensive program, it was noticed that He Ying was not the only one in Xiao Yao''s circle who was preparing for the new film project. After He Ying, Xiao Yao and Fang have also received several calls asking about the casting situation of film projects, either for themselves, or for friends in the circle and their artists to fight for roles.
As there is no actor He Ying who makes Xiao Yao feel happy and wants to make sure, Xiao Yao replies that the casting company is responsible for the casting, and sends him to the casting company to participate in the primary election of the casting company.
Xiao Yao gave casting company a month''s primary election time, but now it''s only a little more than a week. For the rest of the time, Xiao Yao didn''t want to pay attention to casting, so he naturally went back to his previous life and work.
In this month, Xiao Yao''s main job is the women''s League. Xiao Yao asked the members of the girls'' League for a month''s itinerary, because Xiao Yao not only guides the group training when all the girls come together every week, but also guides individual members of the girls'' League when they practice.
In the previous week, because Xiao Yao was going to play a guest role in the cast, and he knew that some of his behaviors on the day when he went to be a guest after the group comprehensive program was broadcast would be exposed, so he didn''t go to Hangzhou to give guidance to individual members, leaving it for the second full practice.
This week is different from last week. The tricks of concealing girls have been exposed. After He Ying''s affairs are settled, Xiao Yao is ready to stay in Hangzhou.
After a week''s practice, there is a gap between the girls in the performance of that song, and everyone''s personal weakness is also exposed. Xiao Yao can better give targeted guidance to individual members. In addition, Xiao Yao also promised AI Jun to help her make up lessons in the program. In addition to guiding the girls to sing and dance, Xiao Yao can occasionally become a tutor.In addition to the 11 "temporary students" of the 101 women''s League, Xiao Yao also has a real student, Tang Jingjing.
Over the past few years, Xiao Yao, who is also a student, has not taught Tang Jingjing any serious lessons. He basically works in a recording studio. When Tang Jingjing happens to be free, he asks Tang Jingjing to watch and study in the recording studio and give guidance by the way.
Tang Jingjing is a 17-year-old girl. Her behavior ability and self-care ability have improved a lot. Now it''s summer vacation, so she is more free. This little girl recently did not know how to fall in love with dancing. When she heard that Xiao Yao was directing the 101 women''s group in Hangzhou, she also came to Hangzhou.
Xiao Yuan accepted Tang Jingjing as a student, mainly because he saw her singing potential, and basically taught her music knowledge and singing skills. But Xiao Yao doesn''t object to Tang Jingjing''s dancing. He just doesn''t have the time and energy to teach. Some of the 101 girls are really good at dancing. If Tang Jingjing wants to come to Hangzhou, she can play and learn with Wei Yunjing and other girls with good dancing skills. Xiao Yao has no objection.
Words are long and words are short. A few days later, it was time for the third women''s League practice class.
This week, Xiao Yao practiced alone with the members of the women''s League. He had a better understanding of their progress and performance, and the performance and improvement of the members of the women''s League were better than the previous week. Therefore, the whole practice class did not start in the practice room, but took everyone to the recording room for recording.
The official version of this song was recorded in Hangzhou, occupying the time of group practice class. Naturally, the recording room was provided by Haiyan entertainment for Xiao Yao.
Xiao Yao discussed with Haiyan to make the official version of the song himself, but not all the recording work was arranged by one person. Xiao Yao is competent for all the work in the recording room, not because he has obsessive-compulsive disorder and likes to run between the recording room and the operation room, but just because he is lazy and troublesome.
When working in his own recording studio, Xiao Yao needs to invite a band and a recorder himself. Xiao Yao was in trouble and thought it was better to invite someone than to come by himself. That''s why he produced the double CD album with almost all the behind the scenes producers'' names. When cooperating with others, if the other party is willing to provide Xiao Yao with the staff of the recording studio to help him complete the recording work, Xiao Yao certainly adopts it all in accordance with the principle of no use for nothing.
This song was written for the women''s group of Haiyan entertainment. Haiyan entertainment not only provided Xiao Yao with a recording studio, but also provided recording engineers, assistants and other personnel to cooperate with him. Xiao Yao also accepted all the orders.
Xiao Yao has done a good job in the music arrangement of this song. He only needs to record the voice track of the members of the women''s group. With the help of the recording engineer, Xiao Yao only needs to pay attention to the singing of the members of the women''s group in the recording room and give guidance. His work is relatively easy.
This women''s group has been on the market for more than a year, and its business has basically improved. This song has been practiced for two weeks, and the singing performance of the members of the women''s group is relatively mature, so the recording of the whole song did not take too long. In less than one practice class, Xiao Yao has finished recording the song. Putting the matter of the later stage of the sound training behind, Xiao Yao still has time to take them back to the practice room to practice dancing for a period of time.
